OK guys a little late but here's my update. I really like MSG. When you are looking at the rest of the arena from the lower level it really looks small but man I just love how everything looks. Very good game overall. So here's how I did, I got all my autographs outside:

No sign of Kelly Tripucka. Landry Fields also signed, was very friendly. By the time one of the big 3 got there, maybe 20 other people were waiting. I should've gotten Amare but he just never signed for me...people were crossing the street to try to get him but I didn't right away. Also wasn't able to get Billups or Carmelo, it was just bad....I really wish at least one of those guys came earlier. I'm definitely trying to go there one more time before the season ends. There will also be at least one update next week. Thanks for reading!

Another strong signing with Jeff Foster. Heck of a nice guy. Whenever I would take the kids to see the Pacers, he recognized us and would stop and talk. Wish more basketball players were like him on and off the court. Great pick-ups!

Thanks guys. Justin, I am fortunate enough to because the Nets stink lol. At least we have a team where you can get lower level seats cheap compared to our other sports. So for tomorrow its the Nets/Wolves and other than Kevin Love I absolutely need to get Kurt Rambis for my nearly impossible Hornets piece.

Sooo the night turned out pretty well in the end. Went to the Nets/TWolves game. Nets held off Minnesota to the very end. The big guy didn't make the trip (Kevin Love) but there was another big guy for me to get, head coach and former Hornet great Kurt Rambis. We got there a few minutes late so we couldn't get as good of a spot as we'd like. It was just bad pre-game. I was only able to get Wayne Ellington and Luke Ridnour and Telfair didn't come back to sign for my spot. Prudential Center has had a ridiculous policy now for the past month. You have to go back to your seats 15 minutes earlier because one time, a person getting autos didn't let someone have their seat. The whole policy is unfair and unnecessary, that's not the only way to handle the situation...So anyway at this point I was really hoping we'd have access to the team bus after the game or else this night would be shot. The bus was there so things were looking good! Was able to get Telfair this time around, Jonny Flynn and Beasley. Bill Laimbeer came out but says that he doesn't sign... Reggie Theus came out and signed for everyone. Then while he was signing, HE came out...Kurt Rambis. He didn't look like he'd sign but then he dropped his things and signed. I was so glad....because I've heard he doesn't sign often. I say, "Hey, I've got this for you to sign Kurt" and he was pretty happy about it, he thought my 8x10 was great. It's stupid but I was a little nervous when I normally wouldn't be, I was a little short on words. And then to finish I got another coach, Darrick Martin. I had him waiting a little so I could get my card of him out but he was very nice about it. So this really made my day worth it...my first Hornet for my project.

Thanks Jason and Joe. I don't think many knew what the numbers meant but I'm glad someone asked. It basically means how many things he signed for me each opportunity I had. So for example for Telfair, he signed one of the 2 cards I had out for him.

Thanks alot Justin! Glad to see you say that. Well guys thought I would include this in my thread. Although I didn't get this, this was an in-person success for someone else. This just came in today:

A Derrick Rose signed jersey! Few weeks ago I sold my first autograph, a slightly damaged cert of him for 300. Then after waiting for the right jersey I got this for 200 along with COA and proof. Would've gotten this for around 158 but it went up to 200 at the last second. Just need to find a frame for this eventually...

OK so right now I'm on my way to the Garden to try and get the Knicks. There's a little rain so I hope that's the worst it gets. I have a couple playoff games at least to try again but I just decided to hop on the bus from school. I really hope this doesn't turn out to be a waste of time and money. Wish me luck TCC...

OK so I'm on the bus home. It started out good, but then the rain came....for maybe 45 minutes, I can't really tell. A car drove in Amare and he didn't come back to sign. Of course the rain was gone just a few minutes later.....what luck. At least much fewer people were there compared to the other time. So here's who I got:

Let me tell you, I was VERY close to not going. But by the time I got off my first stop, the very brief heavy rain let up and I decided to take the next bus to NY. I was close to taking the bus back to school...
